This is Syria. Bashar Al Assad’s army is bombing the Sunni civilians in the province of Idlib tonight, killing many. Anybody cares? Will there be huge protests in Europe and the USA?

Overwhelmed by the kindness of all of you congratulating me on the knighthood, and deeply touched by knowing means so much to many people. I mean to go on with it, on tv and in print, on art and history for as long as I can string words and ideas together !

The worst person to be President delivers the worst inaugural speech in American history: mean-spirited, vainglorious, badly written drivel

Peter Oborne’s statement is truly extraordinary ( and actually quite inspiring) in its clarity, honesty and rational decency. It should be read by every engaged person on both Brexit and Remain sides - and if we get that far as a starting point for new debate

Peter Oborne, former chief political commentator of The Daily Telegraph, and former strong Brexiteer is one of the first to break cover and admit he was wrong. Brave.

The masks keep coming off. Israeli Communications Minister from the ruling Likud party admits tonight that his plan for “voluntary migration” of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip will actually be coerced migration or in other words ethnic cleansing.

In 1942, "Station Z" was created at Sachsenhausen with a crematorium and neck-shot unit; a gassing chamber was added in 1943. So this is the meaning of Putin's "Z" army that he says is "deNazifying" Ukraine
